EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1912 with this print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection. Here, we witness the proud soldiers of the 5th Battalion, Royal Sussex Regiment, gathered at Wadhurst Camp. The image captures a moment frozen in history, offering a glimpse into the lives and camaraderie of these brave men before the outbreak of World War I. Dressed immaculately in their uniforms adorned with badges and insignias, these soldiers exude discipline and determination. Their neatly trimmed moustaches add an air of sophistication to their rugged appearances. Standing tall beside rows of tents that serve as their temporary homes during training exercises, they are ready for any challenge that lies ahead. The camp itself is a testament to military precision; every tent meticulously arranged and each soldier positioned flawlessly. The sight of caps held firmly under arms signifies respect for tradition and unity within this tightly knit battalion. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when young men willingly answered their country's call without knowing what lay ahead on the battlefields. It encapsulates both innocence and bravery - qualities that would be tested in unimaginable ways just a few short years later. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this remarkable piece offers us an invaluable window into our shared past. Let it transport you back to an era where duty bound individuals stood united against adversity.
